The Xbox-Linux team have got to work on trying to port Linux to the Xbox 360, in a project named 'Free 60'. The Free60 Project aims to port open source operating systems like GNU/Linux and Darwin to the Microsoft Xbox 360 gaming console. Here is some interesting documentation already from their website.

Settle down No one's taking your toys away. Run Linux all you want but don't expect any ticker-tape parade for doing so. And yes running games on a CONSOLE is noteworthy. Not because of the "running games" part, but the overall environment that people will be commenting on for years. The gaming press will not be devoting lots of ink (if any) on the "running of linux on an xbox" news, but the "hey did you hear that so and so game is coming out on the xbox?" or "look at these new accessories". Plus I find the "do what we want with our hardware, irrespective of MS" part a bit humerous, because one can buy another console that doesn't have any "control issues", and still satisfies the geeky urge to "run linux on". Guess you all really want to "stick it to the MS man". That's going to be some expensive stick.
